Actually, my refugee protection claim was rejected. I was told that it was because of my testimony, which they did not believe. As for my application on humanitarian and compassionate grounds, I was told that I had not signed the affidavit in certain spots, but it was not my problem if my representative had not given it to me to sign. I did not know what I had to sign. That is the first thing.
Then, I didn't know what my representative had written because he hadn't even had me read all of what he wrote. He decided to write what he wanted and then sent it.
I just learned why my application was refused. When it was refused despite my problems and everything I was facing there, I wondered why. I asked my representative to request the reasons so that I could know why my application had been refused. He told me that it wasn't possible. I called him several times, and he finally asked.
I finally understood what had happened. The testimony contradicted the one I had given at the embassy to enter the country. The representative said that I had nothing in Haiti, and several other things, including that my family lived in makeshift tents. But that wasn't true; my family lived in a house. That is why my application was refused.
